Hello!
I am trying to change the language of a calendar widget in the service portal from english to new norwegian. We have been creating manual translations for new norwegian in other parts of this portal. After some research, we have found that even though there is an existing moment.js library translation for new norwegian when navigating directly to the url, it will not retrieve the correct translation.
Has anyone solved this problem earlier?

Hi @SynneL
if you want to change the first day of the week, then follow to the article below.
Setting Monday as the first day of the week in the calendar report:
Resolution
This can be achieved by creating the below system properties-
* glide.ui.filter.first_day_of_week = 2
* glide.ui.date_format.first_day_of_week= 2
* glide.ui.date_picker.first_day_of_week = 2
- Go to the System Properties table: sys_properties.list
- If the property does not already exist, create a new property by clicking on New.
- Set the following values:
- Name: glide.ui.filter.first_day_of_week
- Type: Integer
- Value = 2 (for Monday)
- Save the record.
- Do the same for all three Sys properties to resolve the issue

-> I created a date/time variable in catalog item and then changed language as French and it translated the months etc
-> Since you are using momentjs to render ServiceNow in this KB already informed they are not going to address this in the platform as it's an external library
-> Raise a case with ServiceNow won't help here
